The Evaluation Kit eases adding Ethernet hardware to an application or device and provides all necessary information to understand the demands of an Ethernet hardware design.

Würth Elektronik announced that its rapidly growing connector division will be jointly managed by Romain Jugy, Head of Product Management, and Josef Wörner, Head of Sales. Jugy will be responsible for production and development, while Wörner has responsibility for the global sales of connectors.

Characterized by a self-adhesive film on the back, 3 wireless power charging coils have been added to Würth Elektronik's exisiting range of power transfer coils.

Supporting cross-border fellowship trainings devoted to global cancer control, Würth Elektronik has launched its “eiSos for Charity” campaign in partnership with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). For every reference design that Würth Elektronik eiSos wins in 2014, the company will donate $40 to UICC.

During the ISO/TS 16949 audit undertaken by TÜV Süd, Würth Elektronik was able to prove the high standard of its quality management system. Further to improving on the results from last year's audit, the Würth Elektronik Asia Sourcing department was analyzed for the first time and subsequently certified.

Answering the demand for powerful inductors with stable inductance and soft saturation, Würth Elektronik have launched the WE-CFWI range of coupled flatwire inductors.

A revised and expanded version of eiSos Component Selector software has been released by Würth Elektronik. Six new modules have been added to the four exisiting ones, with Würth claiming that this makes the selection tool one of the world's most comprehensive component databases to be provided by a single manufacturer.

Targeting smart metering applications, the MID-MHC series of flyback transformers has been announced by Wurth Electronics. The transformer series supports creepage and clearance distances up to 14mm, as well as multiple isolated outputs.

  Once the desired AL value and the package are known, the newly released online tool from Wurth Electronics, the Gap Calculator provides a quick calculation of the gap length of a transformer’s core.

Wurth Electronics Midcom and Texas Instruments have jointly developed a series of four new transformers which extends the transformer selection for the SN6501 power driver. The new series of parts is an extension to the 2500VAC isolated parts released last year by Wurth. The new series is a 5000VAC isolated series designed to comply with the requirements for the medical electrical equipment standard, IEC60601-1, for providing tw...

Würth Elektronik has today introduced a new series of common mode chokes, the WE-TFCH family. Featuring a frequency range that is optimized in the area from 9 kHz to 100 MHz, the WE-TFCH series is particularly interesting for LED power supplies. Other applications that require common mode chokes such as the WE-TFCH family include low-profile mains filters.

Würth Elektronik is releasing its new product catalogue for assembly technique, switches and power supply elements. The product portfolio of switches includes DIP switches, rotary switches, tact switches, slide switches and illuminated switches. Illuminated switches in SMD und THT are new additions.

Combining high current and lots of control electronics into an extremely limited space is one of the main challenges facing design engineers in modern high power circuit boards. The partial thick copper technology - Wirelaid - is being increasingly implemented throughout the industry. Wirelaid offers a reduction in cost, a reduced number of layers, improved heat dissipation and reduced system volume. Würth Elektronik designs to specific cust...
